Title
Changes in Desiccation Tolerance of Maize Embryos during It's Development
Luo Yin Acta Botanica Yunnanica 2005
Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Maize embryos tolerated slight dehydration 16 days after pollination.
- Observation Embryos germinated fully after dehydration from 1.45 to 0.28?g H_2O g -1 DW.
- Observation Embryos died below 0.1?g H_2O g -1 DW.
- Observation Embryo desiccation tolerance increased with development.
- Observation Electrolyte leakage decreased as embryo tolerance developed.
- Observation Seedling germination and dry weight increased with embryo development.
- Observation SOD and APX were more active at 20 than 24 DAP.
- Observation CAT showed the opposite activity pattern from SOD and APX.
- Observation MDA content declined during seed development.
- Intervention effect Slow drying gave lower electrolyte leakage than rapid drying.
- Intervention effect Rapid drying produced higher SOD and APX activity and MDA content than slow drying.
- Observation CAT activity change was not evident.
